#751867September 7, 2001
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
FRONT WHEELS SHIMMY VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING AT 40-50 MPH CAUSING THE CAR TO BE HARD TO CONTROL. THIS IS CAUSED BY ROTOR OVERHEATING AND WARPING DUE TO DESIGN DEFECT. THERE WAS 75% PAD REMAINING AT 15,000 MILE SERVICE, I HAVE TOWING PACKAGE, AND I HAVE NEVER TOWED ANYTHING. THEREFORE MY DRIVING HABITS ARE NOT TO BLAME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE DESIGN DEFECT THAT DOES NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT COOLING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT JEEP IS IGNORING.

#751608September 4, 2001
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
WE RETURNED THE GRAND CHEROKEE BECAUSE WHILE WE WERE DRIVING AND HITTING THE BRAKES, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED. THEY WEREN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE WE HAD MORE THAN 12000 MILES ON IT. THE ROTORS WERE WARPED, BUT THE BRAKES WERE EXCELLENT. WE FEEL THAT THE ROTORS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. WE'VE ONLY HAD THE NEW JEEP A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. HOW CAN ROTORS GET WARPED THAT QUICKLY?????*AK
